I have shown byway of example a out or lrerlfi ill-l in the enil oi: the plunger orejector 2E3 anrl mounted therein :1 :trirtion,

member 24 formed of resilient wire having its ends 25, 25 (Fig. l) benttowards each other and engaging in the hole 26. \Vhen the plunger orejector is pushed into the .sleeve 20, these ends 25, 25 are caused toapproach each other, the friction member 24 being compressed andyieldingly engaging with the inner surface of the sleeve 20. Thisfriction, however, does not interfere with the ready operation of theplunger or ejector 22, being merely sufficient to hold the plunger orejector in any position within the sleeve 20.

To insert the toggle 1 with the aid of the setting tool 28, the togglehead is swung from the position shown in Fig. 6 to brinthrough the hole8 in the wall or other suitable support, until the inner end of thetoggle head. clears the inner surface 10 of the wall or other suitablesupport. Then by grasping the sleeve 20 with the fingers of one hand,and pushing in the plunger or eject-or 22 with the other hand, the endof the plunger or ejector 22 will trip the trigger 7, and cause it todisengage the locking surface 21 of the sleeve 20. The parts will thenbe in the position shown in Fig. 3, the toggle snapping from the dottedposition in that figure to the position shown in full lines. By thenpulling out on the sleeve 20, which will carry the plunger or ejector 22with it, the toggle head is moved to the right of Fig. 3 and caused tostraddle or bridge the hole 4. Further pressure to the right of Fig.will withdraw the tool as shown in Fig. 1. The prongs (i, (S will hepulled out from engagement with the lo 1l-: ing surfaces 21 on thesleeve 20 and will immediately engage the inner surface 11. of the wall,or other suitablesupport 8, and automatically hold the toggle head incorrect position bridging or straddling the hole 8, as shown in Fig. 4.

The work 13, whatever it may be, can then be secured to the exposedsurface 1% of the wall or other suitable support 9.

In screwing up the head of the bolt, the end 16 of the bolt 15 willengage with the resilient member 4, and as the tOggle head is tightenedand secured against the inner surface 10 of the wall or other support,the prongs 6, (i of the resilient member will be caused to scrape alongthe inner surface 11, but this action is not objectionable for it doesnot occur until the male threads on the bolt cooperate with the femalethreads in the hole 2 of the toggle 1.

In some walls large air pickets. or other voids, are encountered and toget the prope strength or support for the work .1 it is necessary to gobeyond these poclcct.-=. 'll often entails the use of :2 very longstove. machine or other bolt. The exact length of bolt needed is: hardto determine and H- quires manipulation of several lengths of boltsbefore the correct length is found.

By one feature of my invention 1 enable the operator to tell at a glanceexactly the correct length of stove or other bolt to be employed. Iaccomplish this by calilu'ating the setting tool.

In Fig. 8 I have shown on a smaller scale, a wall 35 having an airpocket or void 36.

In drilling the hole 37, the operator may find that the portion of the"\Yll $38 is not strong enough to support the work, and therefore hedrills through the portion ilf on the other side of the air pocket 36,so that the toggle head will get a lirm bearing on the inner surface -l0of the wall or other suitable support To enable the operator todetermine at a glance the exact length of stove or other bolt that willhave to be used to cooperate with the toggle head 1, I calibrate thesetting tool so that the graduated portion of the tool, which is in linewith the outer Hill 41, will give the correct reading and show exactlythe length of bolt that would have to be employed; thereby avoiding thedelay of manipulating a series of bolts of dill crenl lengths todetermine which one is the correct length to coop rato with the toggle.

For convenience of manufacture, l preferably provide the main sleeve 20with interior or female scrmv-lhreads 42, (Fig. U to I'()-- operate withthe exterior screw-llneads lil on the extension sleeve ll which sleevei:' calibrated as shown in Fig. 9. While .l preferably employ av sleeveand an extrusion sleeve connected together it is of ttllll'rc lo beumlerstood that if desired the olllcr sleeve may be a. single member.

Having thus described this invention in connection with illustrativeembodiment; thereof, to the details of which I do not desire to belimited, what is claimed as new and what is desired to secure by Letterslatent is set forth in the appended claims.
